Category: New Zealand: TEAN at Otago

It’s hard to believe that I will be leaving this beautiful country in two weeks. Who know that 5 months could fly by so quickly. These past couple of weeks have been again mostly filled with studying for my four finals. Two of them are this Monday in fact. Last week, a couple of friends…

Hey guys!! I cannot believe I am sitting here writing this. I have a little over 2 weeks left in Dunedin and it is starting to sink in that pretty soon I will be back home. The past week and a half we have had no classes in order to allow people to prepare for…

These past couple weeks have been a bit uneventful but I really felt like I just need some down time without having to worry about planning trips and just focus on school for a bit. This past week was the last week of lectures which is so hard to believe. I can’t believe that 4…

                      Its hard for me to believe that I’ve been here for 4 months already. In the moment it feels like time was going slow and well spent, but when I look back at it its hard to believe that classes are already over. How am a I already done…

Oh my goodness! Since the last time I posted on here, I got to do one of the COOLEST trips I’ve taken in New Zealand. I got to go to Milford Sound! It’s known as the 8th wonder of the world – that should tell you enough about its beauty. Unfortunately, Milford Sound is in…

Hey guys!! I am so happy! I got a chance to do one of the most iconic New Zealand hikes on the last weekend it was open – we were cutting it close. But anyways, let me back track. Last weekend, 10 of my friends that are in the TEAN program went to Wanaka. Wanaka…

This past week I have really been struggling with the feeling of loneliness. I had never felt true loneliness at this intensity like that before. It was strange for me to come to terms with it because in my head I wasn’t alone. I live with 5 other people, my best friend that I met…

Ahhh! 3 days late on my blog post because school work has been insane lately! We are nearing the end of classes (3 weeks left) and all those last minute papers and readings need to be done. I wrote 2 papers in 2 days, and it’s safe to say that I am exhausted. I need…

It’s really hard to believe I only have less than two months left here in New Zealand. Plus, we only have less then one month before classes are over and finals begin. All I have is two essays between me and studying for those tests. Since last time, a bunch of our friends from the…
